Survival Bros decided to help a previously abandoned shelter pup out, and take him for a walk around Lake Sacajawea in Longview, Washington today. Charlie spends way too much time in his concrete kennel, and was aching for attention, and exercise. The shelter is completely full of dogs right now, and would like to get some adopted out immediately. Stop by or give them a ring if you need a buddy.

When we got to The Humane Society of Cowlitz County they asked if we would release a wild, rescued duck too. I’m a University of Oregon Duck, so of course I helped out. We put the female in a crate, and drove to it’s home on the water. She followed us for a ways down the path, but eventually settled in, and got regrouped. All in a good days work.

Pets love trails. We run, jump, and play in the mud, and our puppy does the same. Here at Survival Bros, we care about our animals, so we take good care of them, and prepare for their survival needs. This is a short list of items to have in a pet first aid kit. Some of these things you may already have on hand. All items can fit in a large Ziploc bag, which we like so everything is easy to see. Any portable waterproof container would be wise. Or you can even make a tactical dog vest, so they can carry their own gear. The point is, make one that works for you and your furry friend too.

A leash in case it’s not your animal your treating, you still need to be able to control them if they are able to walk.

A big clean towel to dry them off, warm them up, or if needed, stop bleeding by applying pressure.

A muzzle that fits your animal is good to have in your kit in case they are scared, or hurt bad enough. You love them, they love you, but in a fear moment while you’re trying to help them, they might bite you. Also consider putting a plastic cone around their head to prevent further injury.

Rain coat or poncho with hood.

Harnesses are helpful.

Also, make sure to have your animal’s tags on them in case they get lost. You can also have a microchip implanted in your pet for security reasons, and tracking. It’s a little 1984, but it could come in handy if a collar breaks.

Instant Cold Pack for swelling.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for insect bites and bee stings.

Rectal thermometer.

Gloves.

Extra pet food and water.
